More quotes by Natalie Portman
Sometimes people say something to you and you're like, I respect you so much, I love what you do, but I disagree. I don't think that's right for the way I see it.
Natalie Portman
I'm pretty immature and get pretty embarrassed easily. I would check out once in a while certain shots to make sure that I felt OK because sometimes once you see it you realize it is fine.
Natalie Portman
I was definitely different from the other kids... I was more ambitious. I knew what I liked and what I wanted, and I worked really hard. I was a very serious kid.
Natalie Portman
If you read, your book is kind of your friend, because it's like the book is telling you its story and you're being the listener.
Natalie Portman
I hear, more than ever, people actively searching for women to direct, actively wanting to finance women's films, which is not to say it is easy, but I think it's been a great instance of how journalism has put pressure on business to be more fair between genders.
Natalie Portman
I'm not a perfectionist, but I like discipline. I'm obedient, but I'm not a perfectionist. I think it's important to work your hardest and be as kind as possible to everyone you work with. The goal, every day, is keeping focused on that.
Natalie Portman
Everyone has to find what is right for them, and it is different for everyone. Eating for me is how you proclaim your beliefs three times a day. That is why all religions have rules about eating. Three times a day, I remind myself that I value life and do not want to cause pain to or kill other living beings. That is why I eat the way I do.
Natalie Portman
I don't have a normal job, so I really appreciate having friends who are writers and artists. It's fun to have a group of people you can call in the middle of the day to go for a hike.
Natalie Portman
I love stoner comedies. I smoked weed in college, but I haven't smoked in years.
Natalie Portman
It's a big honour to have people be excited about a movie that you make. That's the one thing that you want.
Natalie Portman
It's a lot easier to make friends when you're younger, because kids are a lot less judgmental than adults. They're more like, O.K., let's be friends. Not, So, what's your job? What's your marriage status?
Natalie Portman
I'd say I got three or four offers for films that had female directors, so in my career I haven't had that opportunity before. That's exciting.
Natalie Portman
I always find it a little scary to say that I'm like a character.
Natalie Portman
Girls have girl/guy relationships because we are expected to be so emotional and sensitive and stuff, and sometimes you just don't feel like being that way.
Natalie Portman
Even my life's not normal because I'm acting, right?
Natalie Portman
I'm very interested in people who seem very negative and nasty and to go inside their world and see why they get that way. It makes you a little more sympathetic to them, even though I really don't want to be around those people.
Natalie Portman
Obviously, in a friendship there are always things, good and bad, that go on between people. You can't take away what's already happened. And if it's something that's really terrible, I think you have to forget about the friendship.
Natalie Portman
Smart women love smart men more than smart men love smart women.
Natalie Portman
It's horrible to be a sex object at any age, but at least when you're an adult you can make the decision if you want to degrade yourself.
Natalie Portman
Actually I want to scare away method actors because it's a pain. It's like, 'Come on, what are you doing? It's not real. What are you doing? Oh, you're really brooding. Okay, good. Go to your trailer. I'll see you in an hour.'
Natalie Portman
